Actually its a lawyer question not just policy. If the two parts being put together are tightly dependant on each other and in fact form a single work which it seems could reasonably be the case in this situation then if one half is GPL the other must also be so. There is also policy on this, I refer you back to the Intel wireless and binary management daemon discussions. I likewise refer you to some of the input device discussions related to USB HID and devices where vendors wanted us to exclude their device in favour of proprietary libusb drivers.
